The whole problem of mindfulness

Is that it's boring. Well, at least to the egoic mind, anyway. The IDEA of it is thrilling. The ego LOVES the idea -- how could it not? It's so lofty and yet so sensible at the same time. It clearly would solve the world's problems.

But once you get past the abstract stuff, it's about paying attention to the boring details - anything from washing your hands to listening to your own breathing - until they aren't boring anymore.

This is easy when you're in emotional pain and boring details are like a warm beach you want to lie face down on while the turbulent sea of your unmanageable life churns at the drag marks you've left in the sand.

    Hi everyone and welcome to my first blog. As a screenwriter in Hollywood for over 20 years, I was too busy writing for a living to jump on the blogwagon. Now that I've diversified and channeled my energies into a wider range of pursuits, my keyboard isn't getting the workout it used to get -- so I thought maybe it was time. That and the fact my journey towards mindfulness has suddenly gotten rather public with the completion of my app, Remindfulness. This blog is going to be my own personal mindfulness diary, nothing more and nothing less. Because really I'm not sure there's anything more important -- though EVERYTHING SEEMS more important when it comes down to whether to take those 10 deep conscious breaths or interrupt that resentful thought and replace it with a loving thought. I've been attracted to spiritual ideas my whole life and felt the rapturous expansive joy of moments of Oneness...(a few of them, not many, I will be honest) while reading an enlightening book or meditating on a new concept. But integrating what I am learning into my real, daily, brush your teeth, pay bills, procrastinate exercise, life -- that's an whole other thing. That's what I'll be writing about. That journey. And I'd love to hear about yours.
